Default Engine Guard

Am thinking about adding some bars (engine gurads) with some running lights but don't know how it would look on a Low Rider so does anyone have any picture?

Well I got the engine guard and lights installed today and I like the looks of it. Lights make me more visiable and if I should ever lay the bike down, it shoulf be a little bit easier to lift back up.

Well, I was to late. Engine guards look ugly on a dyna, IMHO.

It's still a beautiful bike but I bought a SG because I prefer the stripped down look. I keep looking for things to take off my bike to make it leaner.

Default RE: Engine Guard

Took the bike out last night and those running lights really light up the road. And on the way home from the dealership, I was following a few of my friends on their bike and they looked in their mirrors and said that I was very visiable and that was in the day light. I just like the idea of being more visiable when riding and I ride to work everyday. I also turned my rear turn signal into brake lights as well as turn signals.

Was in a really bad bike wreck about 9 years ago when someone ran me off the road and spent a few months in the hospital, so now I do all I can do to make it safer to ride. As far as running up the road 80, 90 and even faster, been there, done that, now I ride for pleasure.

Which unit did you use? I'm considering getting one of these from Jireh Cycles for around $75.00 but was hoping to find one cheaper.

I got the kit at the HD dealer and it was plug and play with the red lenses and I think it was less than $50.00.
